It doesn't have the starch content of white rice and won't stick together.
It also tastes like oatmeal, and who wants that in their tuna roll?

The few times I've tried to make sushi at home, the recipes called for a certain type of rice due to the consistency, so the roll stays together properly. I imagine you could use brown rice, but may need an additional ingredient to act as a bonding agent.

Sushi rice needs to be very sticky. It needs a rice that will hold a shape when molded into it. You cannot make a little bed for sashimi with brown rice, it will just not hold together.

I visiting professor from Japan once told our class that the finest rice in the world is California White Pearl Rice.
I think only health conscience Americans eat brown rice.
Most Asians prefer white.

most Asians do not eat brown rice. They beleive their genetic make-up doesn't digest it. So all their recipes are with the white varieties of rices. Shorter grain easier to digest.

It wouldn't look as nice. Brown rice, altough good for you cos of the fibre, does look a bit grotty.

THey do, but it's usually the cooked, not raw, variety of sushi. I get it at Whole Foods.

Not enough starch to make it stay together.
